Featured music -- Level 16



We're back! UZ couldn't make it because his laptop was full of UZworms, and Major was getting a headcut. So I have SeriousSirrus, Spambot, and Vicas to hang out with for a bit. Enjoy them. And for all, well, probably none of you, I can no longer provide source videos with an optional track that does not feature our commentary.

First, I want to give a huge shout out to Corbeau for helping me out with some things and to a guy on Descentbb.net named CDN_Merlin for getting me a save game editor. Saved me a lot of time replaying the game and the trouble of dealing with Level 16 cold.

Two robots are back with a formal introduction. You might remember them from Secret Level 1:



The grey Platforms are not very threatening. They fire blue lasers in greater volleys than the Class 2 Drone does, and even drop shields! Their other version...



THESE FUCKERS RIGHT HERE. Never fight them head on if you can help it. They fire volleys of three concussion missiles. Both versions prefer to stay still and act as turrets, but they will engage you.
